Wimbledon: "I don't have many regrets in terms of attitude," assures Bonzi, eliminated in five sets

After knocking off world No. 9 Daniil Medvedev in the first round, the biggest performance of his career at 29, Benjamin Bonzi had warned. He would not be the favorite against Jordan Thompson, who is very comfortable on grass. "I knew it was going to be a completely different match profile from the first round, with a lot less rallies. It took me a while to find my rhythm at the beginning because I had trouble getting used to his ball and how to bring life back into it. He is very aggressive, he comes to the net quickly and he is very good on the volley. That's why I said I didn't feel like a favorite at all." After the feat against Medvedev, the disappointment against Thompson . "I remember the victory against Daniil, but I am disappointed not to get through today. If you add it up, it's only a second round in a Grand Slam. It's not a fantastic week either. I can hardly leave more energy than today on the court, I tried to go all the way. I felt on top at the start of the 4th set and suddenly he was only hitting winning returns. I had the impression that he was taking the hammer grip and everything was going in. I fought all the fifth to stay in contact. At the end, I had the feeling that I wasn't lacking energy, I even felt better than him physically.
